ASID Foundation
Created in 1975 and now known as the ASID Foundation, the Foundation is the affiliated 501 (c)(3) charitable organization for ASID. The ASID Foundation’s mission is to support endeavors that capture and disseminate knowledge, encourage innovation, and benefit the health, safety and welfare of the public through interior design research, scholarship and education.
While ASID has chapters throughout the country and a membership of many thousands of individual members and Industry Partners, only a small portion of ASID dollars go to the Foundation. As such, the Foundation looks to those individuals and organizations to help partner in the response to issues facing interior design and issues that affect the health, safety and welfare of the world community as well as people who are served by the profession. All donations to the Foundation are tax deductible.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“... in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
